I think the whole 'cheating' topic is being blown out of proportion. Drafting, in my mind is not cheating, it is smart racing. If there are 2 or 3 guys in front of me sucking each others wheel, you had better believe I am going to join in. My point is, there will always be drafting in a race, whether it be legal of illegal, and it frequently goes unnoticed. The guy that does not draft will not come out on top 9 times out of 10. Therefore, if you can't stop it, you might as well make it legal for everyone, so it is an even playing field. All a draft legal race does is give you an extra incentive to swim fast.
Let's face it, for those affected by drafting, it is not the challenge of finishing the race, but to finish as fast as possible. Let's level the playing field and legalize drafting!
